After resetting your phone, you’ll need to

Add an account
To add some accounts, you may need to ob­
tain details from system administrator about 
the ser vice to which the account connects. 
For example, you may need to know the ac ­
count’s domain or ser ver address.
1. Go to Settings > Accounts > Add account.2. Touch the kind of account to add.3. Follow the on­sc reen instructions.
Most accounts require a username and pass ­
word, but the details depend on the kind of 
account and the configuration of the ser vice 
you’re connecting to.
Depending on the kind of account, you may 
be asked to configure what kinds of data you 
want to sync, name the account, and other 
details. 
						

							PERSONAL, SETTINGS 2 15

one of two places:
• Google Accounts show up under Settings 
> Accounts > Google.
• Other accounts show up under  Settings > 
Accounts .

tion associated with it from your device, in ­
cluding email, contacts, settings, and so on.

Configure sync options
To reach sync settings for Google accounts, 
star t from  Settings > Accounts > Google.
You  can  configure  synchronization  options 
for any of your apps. You can also decide 
what kinds of data to synchronize for each 
account.
For some accounts, syncing is two­dir ec­
tional; changes that you make to the infor ­
mation on your device are made to the copy 
of that information on the web. Your Google 
Account works this way. Other accounts sup ­
port only one­way sync: the information on your mobile device is read­onl y.
Some apps, such as Gmail and Calendar, 
have separate synchronization settings 
that  provide  more  fine - grained  control.  For 
example, to control message syncing in the 
Gmail app, ensure you’re viewing your Inbox, 
then touch 
 Menu > Label settings > Sync 
messages . 
						

							PERSONAL, SETTINGS 217

To control Anto­sync for all apps that use it, open Settings > Data usage >  Menu  and

If you turn off Auto­sy nc, you need to sync manually to collect messages, email, and 
other recent information, and won’t receive 
notifications when updates occur. For exam ­
ple, changes that you make in your People 
app are automatically made to your Google 
contacts on the web.
If this option is not checked, you may be able 
to use an app’s tools to sync data manually. 
You can also sync manually to collect mes ­
sages, email, and other recent information. 
Leaving Auto­sy nc off can help extend your batter y life, but will prevent you from receiv ­
ing notifications when updates occur.
